Chapter 1264 - 626: Deliberate Concealment? Obstructing Official Duties

"Manager Liu, after all this time, do you actually have some evidence in your hands? You just haven’t told the police yet?"

Looking at the other party, he seemed a bit surprised, as if he hadn’t expected him to intentionally conceal things.

Manager Liu chuckled.

"Mr. Luo, I didn’t deliberately hide this from you."

"After all, you understand. Some things, if I make conclusions without confirmation, it’s not really prudent."

But noticing the evasive look in the other party’s eyes.

Luo Fei remained stern-faced.

"Alright, Manager Liu, there’s no need to joke around with me."

"If you know something, it’s best to tell me everything at once. Don’t just give bits and pieces. Otherwise, I can detain you for intentionally obstructing official duties."

Luo Fei’s tone was obviously a bit impatient.

And clearly he didn’t understand the behavior of speaking half-truths.

Seeing that Luo Fei was a bit on edge, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

Manager Liu quickly apologized.

"Mr. Luo, I’m really sorry."

"I used to think if Boss Xu was honest enough to just tell the truth, then I wouldn’t need to take further action."

"But now, seeing her being so dishonest, there’s no need for me to be polite anymore."

Manager Liu said, handing a USB drive to Luo Fei.

He also spoke mysteriously.

"Mr. Luo, don’t show the contents of this USB to anyone."

"After all, I don’t want to stir any trouble. Nor do I want to invite disputes."

Just looking at Manager Liu speaking so earnestly.

Eyes dodging, clearly hesitant to speak further.

Luo Fei couldn’t help but be puzzled.

"Manager Liu, what’s in here? Is it evidence of Boss Xu’s crimes?"

Luo Fei’s curiosity prompted Manager Liu to wave his hand.

"Mr. Luo, not at all."

"This has to do with Boss Xu; it’s key evidence proving the tension between her and Zhou Mingrun."

Manager Liu spoke with sincerity.

Which surprised Luo Fei.

"Manager Liu, I’m a bit confused, you being the business department manager. Why do you have these documents? You didn’t collect them just to deal with Boss Zhou, did you?"

Luo Fei asked, seemingly guarded.

Manager Liu quickly shook his head.

"Mr. Luo, that’s definitely not the case. Boss Zhou is our important business partner. Why would I want to deal with him?"

"But if I have to say it, I collected these documents to protect Boss Zhou. Because his personality is quite sharp; he previously argued with someone. He even got physical over the matter of pre-cooked dishes. So, I had to gather some documents to make those who want to harm him back off, at least not be too reckless."

Manager Liu grinned as he spoke.

Which surprised Luo Fei.

"Manager Liu, I didn’t expect your business department to handle this as well?"

Seeing Luo Fei somewhat astonished.

Seemingly unable to believe his ears.

Manager Liu remained indifferent.

"Yes, Mr. Luo, as you know, the business department is essentially about relationships."

"We cater to preferences, standing from the customer’s perspective to please them."

Manager Liu spoke, pulling back the corners of his mouth.

Luo Fei nodded in agreement.

"I understand now, Manager Liu. But according to your explanation, if one day your customers decide not to buy your pre-cooked dishes anymore, or want to collaborate with other brands."

"Would you then suddenly change your attitude towards the customers?"

Luo Fei’s question.

Surprised Manager Liu a bit.

"Mr. Luo, how could you think that way? That’s quite unexpected."

Luo Fei didn’t say anything in response, just shook his head with a smile.

"It’s alright, Manager Liu, I have other matters to deal with, I’ll take my leave now. Thank you very much for providing us with clues. They’re indeed very crucial."

Just as Luo Fei spoke, turning to leave.

But Manager Liu felt somewhat anxious.

Couldn’t help frowning.

"Mr. Luo, honestly tell me, why did you suddenly bring this up?"

"Could it be, after this incident, Boss Xu is already shaken, planning to use pre-cooked dishes?"

Seeing the other party was somewhat incredulous.

Luo Fei merely shook his head with a smile.

"Manager Liu, your imagination is really something. It’s not the case."

Even though Luo Fei was very forthright.

But the more he denied, the guiltier Manager Liu felt.

He became even more nervous.

Appeared quite agitated.

Beside him, Li Yu was a bit worried.

"Mr. Luo, do you think this person will overthink because of what we said?"

"Even go to apologize to Boss Xu proactively?"

"Not sure, but it’s possible."

Luo Fei spoke, his tone somewhat somber.

Li Yu became even more curious.

Wondering what kind of clue Manager Liu just gave to Luo Fei.

Thus Li Yu was eager.

"Mr. Luo, back to the point. What exactly is the clue Manager Liu gave you?"

Seeing her full of anticipation, eager to try.

Luo Fei handed the USB to Old Han.

As he read the contents from the USB on a laptop.

A recording started playing.

"Vice President Zhou, are you trying to drive us small restaurants to a dead end?"

"We don’t have much profit to begin with, now we must switch to pre-cooked dishes. Isn’t this practically increasing cost indirectly?"

...

Hearing the unfamiliar man’s voice, Luo Fei’s brows furrowed slightly.

Similarly, listening to the call, Lan Mengzhou immediately recognized it.
